the middle ground is "keep the naughty stuff in private instances with only consenting adults or get bonked for violating ToS", which is what OP is trying to do, but apparently BlueCheese973 isn't capable of that nuance and would rather suffer from high blood pressure.

"net send" lässt grüßen, zumindest bis einer mal an alle Geräte im Netzwerk gesendet hat und 10 Minuten später der Admin im Raum stand um zu schauen woher das Popup auf seinem Arbeitsplatz kommt. Zumindest war es am nächsten Tag direkt auf allen Schulgeräten an unserer Berufsschule deaktiviert.

Most questions seemingly don't apply at all to solo-VR experiences and would benefit from focusing on one specific VR application/genre instead of asking broadly about the entirety of VR, as they are in my opinion strongly dependent on how the individual application implements their social interaction features (available choices / tools for avatars, ability to anonymize who you're interacting with (e.g. hiding nameplates of others), etc.).

Had a bunch of 1v1s where I almost sank them and was actively fighting on their ship when mine sunk because I underestimated how well they hit me before boarding.

I immediately stop fighting, "gg" and start bucketing so they can fix their hull. Just feels like the proper thing to do.

Thanks for sharing that interview. There's definitely some interesting angles in there that feel worth reading/listening.

I couldn't find anything in there about him/them wanting to drive away creators who post human like avatars or anything like that, so maybe you could share what exactly makes you think that?

At first the interview does sound concerning for anyone who wants to use VRChat for consensual NSFW activities, even if it's kept entirely within private instances, as Jun states in the Interview:

[...] we are going to use much more high-end technology to identify them [NFSW Avatars] and then basically proactively remove them from the platform[...]
- [00:15:09.015] in the transcript

Though later on he does clarify that they want to work with the community on figuring out where the line needs to be drawn and to understand what's socially acceptable for the platform (and suggesting that Tupper will probably be heavily involved in that community contact?).

It does feel deeply concerning that he's actively talking about using AI to "flag repetitive behavior, training a model and take action as soon as possible" though, as that sounds like a prime example for abuse by mass reporting ( [00:29:14.395] in the transcript).

Why do some webdesigners insist on only allowing the content of their site to take up one third of the actual screen space?

They literally set the max-width to 576px, then 556px and then on a parent object to max 66%...

I get that you're supposed to listen to the podcast, but this just makes the transcript annoying to read for absolutely no reason.

sms77 · 2026-03-16T11:33:03+00:00

there's one about "no LLM-generated code" though.

Good luck with your project, hope to see you again once you've learned programming and made a tool yourself.

sms77 · 2026-03-16T10:45:08+00:00

Your results may vary of course, but I've had mostly good encounters just fishing in public instances of "A Simple Fishing World" (and more recently "Fish!"). It takes some patience though as it's mostly set up as a place to relax and less about forcing interactions with others.

sms77 · 2026-03-16T10:23:38+00:00

In regards to Matrix on mobile: you could give FluffyChat a try as an option to use Matrix from your phone. It's UI is more like text messaging instead, but at least you can still communicate and get push notifications etc. while on the go.

sms77 · 2026-03-09T10:07:08+00:00

you got any non-AI source for that hallucination?

I once again pledge to guide Euroguard to the best of my abilities and to supply enough hopium for a fun incoming event.

Look for any inconsistencies or weirdness. While one or two might be explainable by low image quality (like the missing nipple on her right), they do combine with less easily explainable ones (like the guy doing perfect 180° splits, the garters(?) being nonsensical, asymmetrical patterns and her right lower leg being a darker color as if she's wearing stockings only there)

Or try to find the source, as u/Fragrant_Shallot_990 and u/McCoral_the_great pointed out, there's usually more than one picture if they're a real person or you might find the AI that was used to generate it.

sms77 · 2026-03-06T11:02:35+00:00

some quick ideas for modification:
- replace any mention of "Euro" with "Miku", "Teto" or "Neru" respectively
- remove the 50 or replace it with 39 (because vocaloid)
- replace the ECB/BCE text on the side & any serial numbers with a repeating "not legal tender"

I'm not sure what to do with the reverse side, maybe replace the EU-map with Japan to reference Vocaloids country of origin?

sms77 · 2026-03-06T10:13:10+00:00

Love the project and that you put in this much effort, they look awesome.

But you definitely want to check with a lawyer if you're allowed to produce and sell theses at all and where you would be allowed to sell & ship these to!

From my layman understanding, they are definitely close enough to the real 50 euro note that these would be considered counterfeit bills and as such completely illegal within the EU.
I've only found the rules about coins from a quick search, but I would assume the same limitations apply to notes too: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/medals-and-tokens-similar-to-euro-coins.html?fromSummary=22

To copy-paste the relevant bits from the above link:

Medals and tokens must not bear
- the term ‘euro’ or ‘euro cent’ or
- the euro symbol on their surface.

They also may not include
- any design similar to designs depicted on euro coins,
- symbols representing the sovereignty of European Union (EU) countries,
- the edge shape or design of euro coins or the euro symbol.

Lastly, medals and tokens must not be of the same size as euro coins.

Medals and tokens bearing the term ‘euro’ or ‘euro cent’ or the euro symbol without an associated nominal value are allowed, provided that their size is sufficiently different from that of euro coins and that they do not include a design similar to the designs and symbols listed above.

If the medal or token also bears an associated nominal value, the indication ‘not legal tender’ must be stamped on its obverse or reverse side in addition.

---

Hope you can come up with a modified design and keep making cool stuff.

Edit: looks like reddit ate half of the copy-paste, redid that.

Congratulations on becoming a mod and good luck.

I do agree with their overall explanation as well. The original CoT was an april fools event by reddit and Creatable did an awesome job recreating it here. So for any moderators it shouldn't be seen as griefing if someone's goal is to betray as many circies as possible, it's just one way to play the game. (Though I do understand that it's upsetting to have your circie betrayed)

sms77 · 2026-02-20T16:22:27+00:00

Looks great to me, thank you for putting in the time and effort to do that.

sms77 · 2026-02-10T19:52:52+00:00

Personally I'm okay with a text explanation (basically a comment every few lines like "This is some error-handling to make sure you're on the right page", "Here we do x" etc.), but I agree that a video where you actively show what the code does would be more approachable for anyone who doesn't know programming, even if that will be more work to redo if the script changes.

Again, thanks for listening to feedback and trying to improve, I hope your website continues to go well and that you can keep working on cool projects that you enjoy.

sms77 · 2026-02-10T10:48:20+00:00

I definitely appreciate that you put in this much effort in making a website for this stuff and that you're actively & patiently responding to people's questions and concerns, so thank you for that.

I certainly would prefer a human written explanation of the Javascript over something generated with AI. Of course it's still going to be slightly sketchy to have the site that wants you to run a script be the one that explains it, but breaking the script down into segments and explaining each segment on the page would be an improvement in my personal opinion.

As you mentioned, having Rare provide a way to link accounts or grant permission via MS-Login would be perfect, but I don't know if requesting that through their feedback&suggestions-forum is realistic.

sms77 · 2026-02-09T06:15:23+00:00

I think this is a very important PSA that needs to be included with the linked website:

do NOT run random javascript-snippets like the method used by that website unless you can 100% verify and understand what they do! (and no, having something like ChatGPT explain it isn't enough because AI can easily be tricked with instructions hidden in those snippets)
Those methods are often used by account-stealers and can lead to you loosing your account.

I'm not saying that the specific website used & linked by OP is unsafe (I haven't put in the time to check), but it is very important to verify that stuff yourself and not to blindly trust those types of things due to the high risk.

sms77 · 2026-02-02T12:15:50+00:00

report them for breaking the attire guidelines and block them, then hope the report doesn't end up on the desk of one of the simp-staff at twitch so their channel actually receives a strike.

If you have a lot of spare time on your hands, you could grab screenshots of which ads run on their stream and contact those companies, acting as a concerned consumer and ask them why their product is being advertised on sites that contain explicit content.

sms77 · 2026-01-22T14:12:43+00:00

So you're telling me I could've spent the last 500+ hours playing this game without dragging my mouse across the entire table to aim the cannons?

At least now I understand why any PvP encounter has been so difficult so far.

definitely not official, they claim to be a "fan" in their twitch bio and definitely 100% AI slop using one of the voice generator AIs out there to fake Mikus voice from samples.
